Atkins is developing a City Action Plan for Madurai which will be specifically tailored to the city around blue-green infrastructure. Madurai Corporation and a wide range of city stakeholders have been involved in developing and shaping the Action Plan.

The Future Proofing Indian Cities project represents the first time that evidence on the holistic set of risks and possible solutions to target specific vulnerabilities to risks has been explored for Bangalore and Madurai using the Future Proofing Cities methodology.

The purpose of the action plan is to provide the tools to plan Bangalore’s resilience, as well as the capacity to
act among city leaders, infrastructure 
and service providers and amongst the community.

New Delhi and Mumbai are amongst the cities that are most prone to multiple environmental risks warns this new analysis by Atkins. Covering 129 cities, it assesses the risks to cities from climate hazards and resource scarcities and how they can act now to future proof themselves.
